Returns an Array of two Integer values.
The first value is the current number of significant digits in the BigDecimal. The second value is the maximum number of significant digits for the BigDecimal.
BigDecimal('5').precs #=> [9, 18]
Divides by the specified value, and returns the quotient and modulus as BigDecimal numbers. The quotient is rounded towards negative infinity.
For example:
require 'bigdecimal' a = BigDecimal("42") b = BigDecimal("9") q, m = a.divmod(b) c = q * b + m a == c #=> true
The quotient q is (a/b).floor, and the modulus is the amount that must be added to q * b to get a.
Returns true if rat is greater than 0.
Returns true if rat is less than 0.
Returns a hash of parsed elements.
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
Date.xmlschema('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Returns true if the date is on or after the day of calendar reform.
Date.new(1582,10,15).gregorian? #=> true (Date.new(1582,10,15) - 1).gregorian? #=> false
This method is equivalent to new_start(Date::GREGORIAN).
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%F’).
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
Parses date as a dateTime defined by the XML Schema and converts it to a Time object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with the format or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.
See xmlschema for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.xmlschema("2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00") #=> 2011-10-05 22:26:12-04:00
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns true if the database is empty, false otherwise.
Deletes all entries for which the code block returns true. Returns self.
Converts the contents of the database to an in-memory Hash, then calls Hash#reject with the specified code block, returning a new Hash.
Returns a Hash (not a DBM database) created by using each value in the database as a key, with the corresponding key as its value.
Replaces the contents of the database with the contents of the specified object. Takes any object which implements the each_pair method, including Hash and DBM objects.
Returns true if the database contains the specified key, false otherwise.
Returns the struct members as an array of symbols:
Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip) joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345) joe.members #=> [:name, :address, :zip]
Returns number of bytes that can be read without blocking. Returns zero if no information available.
Returns true if input available without blocking, or false. Returns nil if no information available.
Executes the block for every line in the named I/O port, where lines are separated by sep.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
IO.foreach("testfile") {|x| print "GOT ", x }
produces:
GOT This is line one GOT This is line two GOT This is line three GOT And so on...
If the last argument is a hash, it’s the keyword argument to open. See IO.readlines for details about getline_args. And see also IO.read for details about open_args.
